If you look at it by median household income it doesn't really get any better. From 2009 to 2023 it's only gone from 50k to 56k. That being said, I understand this whole thing is a bit more complicated because median income in Boston is considerably higher than that of say Albuquerque. The same is true for median home prices, but no matter how you slice it, you're probably not buying a house unless you make Boston money and live in Albuquerque.
